Another one that I just listened to for the first time is Qualia by modern jazz-prog quartet Syrinx; it's some of the best stuff I've heard from the past 10 years. Plenty of atmospheric acoustic guitar and mellotron that gives a unique mood, combining jazz and symphonic textures very well. I'd highly recommend it.

The obvious: 
- Richard Pinhas!  Solo or with Heldon.....the Krautiest French prog out there.
- Magma.....Christian Vander's Kobaian language!
 
- Pulsar.....the Floydiest French prog I've heard.
 
- Ange......the first two albums from the Decamp brothers' band were excellent.....but all the songs were in French, which is why they didn't make it bigger.
 
- Pierre Moerlen's Gong.....the post-Hillage band ('76- around 1980) revolved around Moerlen.
 
- UZEB....not French from France but French from Quebec.....I guess it ain't really French then, eh?
 
-
 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Eros by Dun is well-regarded as one of France's finest Zeuhl albums.

A personal favourite of mine is the eastern-influenced self-titled jazz fusion release by Rahmann.
